A lot can happen in a year, and since writing this A lot can happen in a year, and since writing this piece on Mother's Day, I've said goodbye to my Nan. The woman who raised me after my own mum's passing. Grief can feel messy even on the most special of days. I honour those feelings, and the sentiment remains somewhat the same since I put these words into the ether.

For all those motherless this time of year, I see you and hope you know you're not alone. That there are people, perhaps just an aisle away that share the common bond of grief.⁣

No illustration video this week, I have a head col No illustration video this week, I have a head cold that has rendered me some much welcomed time on the couch.

So while I wait to sound less raspy I have this cute book cover illustration to share! To pair with my Lillian Rabbit story that’s posted on my website. Inspired by Easter but it’s a cute year round tale that’s short and sweet.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:⁣ Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.⁣ At the going down of the sun and in the morning⁣. We will remember them.⁣
Lest we forget.⁣

Commemorating all those that have bravely and with great heart served for our country. May we honour those no longer with us and send support to our veterans and current service members.

I’m honoured that my writing has such an impact. Sending my gratitude to Jill for all her encouragement and support.

I was delighted that we met recently with a shared connection to Ballarat and we both now live and write on the Gold Coast.

As Easter eggs fill the supermarkets there’s a n As Easter eggs fill the supermarkets there’s a niggling in the back of my head. Those shelves will soon be overflowing with Mother’s Day presents and for my fellow motherless daughters a reminder of grief.

Not to take away from the true celebration of mothers and motherly figures, those earthly angels deserve the entire supermarket and a thank you every single day. This is for those people who coexist with joy and sadness when those aisles are a reminder of the people we love and miss 💖
